Gus is still being a star pupil. His workouts are fully off leash and we are working around bigger distractions. He had a workout today with my small kids running around him and petting him and throwing sticks and he only made a few mistakes and when he did mess up it just took a vibration from his collar to set him right. The only thing he still toils with is the implied stay with the Down. He really wants to ooze over to your feet or to a comfy spot. He stays laying down, he just doesn't always stay parked where you left him. I always make him go back to where he was left just to reinforce that he can't CHOOSE where to lay down.
On Placemat he is doing great. With something to do (like a bone or a toy) he is happy to chill there during normal household activity for a couple hours. He usually falls asleep in fact!
We are still just adding experience and distraction to his workouts and asking him to work for longer periods of the day. He is a stellar student and a fun guy to work with.
